Abstract

At present, it is of utmost importance in every organization, the identification of the restrictive resources for their performance, due to the high competitiveness that presents the world market, where the inadequate availability of the resources requires them to carry out analysis and improvement of its management. The trading enterprises are some of the more affected, since their organization, raise the price of the product or service, when being essential the management of their capacities. In this context, it is indispensable to possess tools that allow identifying all that resource, process or market conditions that represents a physical constraint in the fulfillment of its functions. Due to the inexistence of the above-mentioned instrument, was develop the present investigation with the objective to develop an instrument that of empiric way it allows identifying the principal physical constraints in the logistic system of trading enterprises in Holguin, Cuba. Its application enabled the elaboration of the Current Reality Tree, in the territory and the classification of the trading enterprises selected as object of study to the more frequent physical constraints in its logistic system.
